5 August 2013: 8AM-10AM, Seminar Room Western Extension (Upstairs Campus Centre).
In partnership with the US Consulate Melbourne and Orion College, MIAS is hosting a small breakfast gathering with Mr. Brad Glosserman. He is the Executive Director of the Pacific Forum: Center for Strategic and International Studies which promotes dialogue on regional security, political, economic and environmental issues in the Asia-Pacific Region. His biography is found here.
TOPIC: The Rebalance and the Future of US Leadership in Asia.
What is the US rebalance? What does it mean for US engagement in Asia? What does it demand of US allies and partners (and potential adversaries) in the region? This talk explores the purpose of the US rebalance, its implications for the Asia Pacific order, and regional reactions to it.
Encourage your friends to come along! EVERYONE IS WELCOME, regardless of whether you are a MIAS member or not. Volunteers will be waiting in the Campus Centre upstairs to direct students to the room.
